THE NATIONAL Basketball League (NBL) season begins on the weekend, with an exciting campaign ahead for the nation’s premier basketball competition.
In celebration the commencement of the NBL season is Rookie Me Central‘s brand new basketball podcast Got Next.
The weekly program will cover all things NBL and WNBL, when the respective seasons begins in November. Hosted by Michael Alvaro with analysis from expert basketball writer Liam Badkin, Got Next covers what went down in the nation’s basketball competitions each week.
Segments will include Team of the Week, Young Gun Watch, and a live count of Rookie Me Central’s Rookie of the Year award for both the NBL and the WNBL.
With a large (but not entire) focus on the competition’s youngsters, the Got Next podcast will look to follow some of the nation’s up and comers as they look to take the next step.
Tune in next week for our first episode.
